Last week a listener asked about question about building your own meals for a bug out bag or for back packing etc. As it was a feed back show I gave the 5 minute answer to the question. Today we dig deeper, I will give you some methods of creating long term storeable but ready to cook rations to supplement products like Mountain House, etc. These recipes are more about building bases first and then customizing them to taste.

I was going to call this show “14 Rules for Being a Modern Survivalist” but I realized that would violate my survival tenet that reads…

“Your personal philosophy is more important for you than mine! You are the master of your own life and if you don’t agree with my views, great, define, understand and implement your own. The biggest thing you can do is understand that you are in control of your life and that what you do matters. Those two factors have the greatest impact on individual survival across every demographic you can imagine.”

For me that is a deep intrinsic belief not just a tenet of modern survival philosophy. I may come across as fully convinced in my beliefs and passionate about them to the extreme but that doesn’t mean I wish to impose them on any other person. So I decided I would simply let you guys know today about 10 of the “rules” that I follow in my life. Some are very old for me, they have guided me since childhood, others I have gained in recent years on my walk as a modern survivalist…

Richard spent 26 years as a software engineer in Austin, TX, before he and his family moved four hours away in the summer of 2015 to an area where they didn’t know anyone. They took their 10’th grade daughter, kicking and screaming, from one of the best Government schools in Texas to a totally unknown (to them) small school in a small community.

Since then, they have built a commercial aquaponics system and started to sell into the market. Richard has his PDC from the online Geoff Lawton program in 2014 and has been a listener to the survival podcast since episode 415 and an MSB member for three years.

This is one of those rare shows were I was proactive in asking the guest to fill out a guest survey form. I happened to connect with Richard after publishing one of my videos on youtube. It was a small water garden system I was doing and he gave me a link to his set up, I was blown away! He then told me how long he had been listening to TSP and that we were partly why he had made this life change, so I asked him right away to please come share his story. Today you will hear that story. It is pretty awesome.

Preppers, survivalists, call us what you want but the media makes us all out to be tin hat conspiracy theory obsessed loons. But what if I told you that being prepared is the only responsible action you can take as an adult in the modern world.

If you have a family this should be beyond obvious. You are responsible for making sure your children are fed, warm and as comfortable as possible in any given circumstances. If you loved your spouse enough to pledge your life to them, do you owe them the concern for their life long safety and well being as well?

What if you are single, no one to worry about? Well if you are stranded, stuck, hurt, hungry, fill in the blank in a bad time, you are going to end up using resources that others might need.

The honest truth is we should all see preparedness as a a basic civic responsibility. I am so sick of hearing how strong America is. It always comes down to our military. That is like me claiming I am great at football because my favorite team has won 6 Super Bowls, it is just plain stupid.

Our nation is dramatically weak right now. If we were ever to experience terrorism say the way it was in Northern Ireland during “the troubles”, we would literally shut down. During super storm Sandy, people in good neighborhoods were dumpster diving for food only 48 hours into the disaster, 48 hours and willing to eat garbage.

In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air.

I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between.

I have asked Jeff back today to discuss his new book titled: Lights On, which was just released on Nov 1 and is now available from all bookstores, Amazon, and World Net Daily bookstore.

Jeff believes most preppers are limiting their backup power preparations to only generators, and power outages are becoming more often and lasting longer, which will easily exceed your stored fuel supplies, then what?

A perfectly cooked deer steak, you can go to medium but if you go to well done, you are evil and do not deserve to touch venison.

Okay right out of the gate if you are not into or do not have access to game, this podcast will still be advantageous to you, every technique I cover can be applied to any red meat like say beef or lamb.

Cooking really is all about technique, and red meat is red meat, pork is pork, etc. There are some differences due to fat content we will address but on that, the number one way people ruin any meat, especially wild game is OVER COOKING IT.

It staggers the mind, a person will eat a steak from a cow, raised in a CAFO, that stood in its own crap and cooking it to medium is okay. But give them a deer that lived in the wild, never was confined, lived on the most natural diet in the world and they cook it to oblivion to be “safe”.
